Description

M81 and M82 are well known, but in this picture at higher magnification it is possibile to spot many many other tiny little galaxies all over the frame. Take a look!

Title: M81 - Detail

Description: Here's the detail on M81 - I added the Ha channel merging it with the Red channel; it's interesting how good still the image is cropping this detail from a 61Mpx full frame picture with 3,76um pixels on the 530mm scope. SAMPLING is the key that made this possible (and still a bit undersampled!)
